Vivre Lyrics in English Grégoire

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vivre by Grégoire from French to English.
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live
And live loud, intensely
Only looking straight ahead
Living at over a hundred thousand
Forgetting we're gonna die
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live
With no conditions, truly living
No "maybe", no "yeah, but wait"
Scarfing it all down, teeth bared
Above all, never take crap
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live
Fingers in a V, head in the wind
Eyes proud, blood on fire
Courage and heart pounding
Getting back up despite the worst
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live
Never losing a single moment
Never letting time slip away
Holding tight, kissing tight
Forgetting that we're gonna die
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live
Living with no regrets, no torment
Bending maybe, but standing strong
Through every storm, every torrent
Through every henchman's critique
My friends, we're gonna live
And live without anesthetics
Without being dulled by sedatives
Living without joining all those folks
Who die long before they die
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live
Living always, telling ourselves
That except for love, nothing's urgent
The rest is vain, inconsistent
'Cause one day we're gonna die
Yes, till then, we're gonna live
Giving everything, to everyone
Not counting, almost unconscious
'Cause nothing beats those moments
When we forget we're gonna die
Yes, my friends, we're gonna live

SONG MEANING

“Vivre” by French singer-songwriter Grégoire is an exuberant rallying cry that invites us to grab life with both hands. The lyrics burst with contagious optimism, urging friends to speed ahead at “more than 100 000,” forget the looming shadow of death, and savor every moment like a feast. Grégoire paints a picture of windswept hair, proud gazes, and hearts on fire, celebrating courage, love, and togetherness while brushing aside doubts, regrets, and the naysayers’ criticism.

The song’s core message is simple yet powerful: nothing is as urgent as love, and everything else is flimsy by comparison. “Vivre” reminds listeners to stay fully awake, resist the numbing comforts of routine, and keep laughing, hugging, and giving generously until the very end. It is a joyous manifesto for living intensely, authentically, and fearlessly—because one day we will die, but until then, we are going to live.
